Dear Client,

CMC Markets is once again pleased to announce that we are enhancing our product offering. On Thursday 6th September 2007, we will introduce the following changes to Marketmaker®:

If-Done Orders

You can't always be watching the markets so Marketmaker® now offers If-Done orders to help you plan your trading. Using the new If-Done ticket, you can place contingent orders to help your trading strategy.

An If-Done order is a way of linking two conditional orders together, so that if one of the orders is executed, then the other order is placed in the market as a result. For example, a trade may use a stop-buy order to open a long position with an associated stop-sell order to limit any potential losses. Therefore, if the stop-buy order gets executed, then the stop-sell order is placed in the market. However, if the stop-buy order is not executed, then the stop-sell order does not become active in the market.

Example

 

XYZ PLC is trading at 155.00 and you believe that it will continue to rise slightly and would like to buy if it does, placing a stop order to manage your risk.

You use an If-Done ticket to place a stop order to buy at 158.00 and a stop order to sell at 150.00.

Your stop-buy order will only be executed if XYZ rises to 158.00, at which time your stop-sell order will also be placed.

CMC Markets has developed a new ticket that allows you to place If-Done orders using our unique One-Click trading system. For full details of how to use these new tickets, please read the updated One-Click Guide.
